One Direction member Liam Payne has said that the band has no problems in former member, Zayn Malik rejoining the team.

IANS reports that even though the One Direction boys are content with the number of people (four) in their band right now, Malik is always welcome with open arms. On being asked about the same, Payne reportedly said, "Of course, I love Zayn--he's great."

Leaving thousands of fans heartbroken, Zayn Malik had parted ways with One Direction in March 2015. The band currently constitutes Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan.

Payne also went ahead and said that even though he'd like Malik back, the chances of that turning into reality are very bleak, and that he doesn't see that happening anytime soon. On being asked the reason behind the statement, Payne reportedly responded with, "Zayn's just doing his own thing."

Payne's statement comes as a total contradiction in the light of Malik's recent interview, during which he had reportedly said that the One Direction members neither take his calls nor reply to his texts.
